IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,191, dated October 16, 1877; application filed January 25, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW V. GALLAHAN, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves, of which the following is a specification:

The objects of my invention are to so construct a cooking-stove that an effective waterheater may be combined with the stove and extended facilities afforded for the dryingof clothes.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1, Sheet 1, is a vertical section of my improved stove and baking or drying oven and clothesdrying appliances; Fig. 2, Sheet 1, a sectional plan on the line 1 2 and Fig. 3, Sheet 2, a transverse vertical section on the line 3 4 of Fig. 1.

The baking or drying oven, which is made separable from the stove, consists of the outer casing A and inner casing B, and between these casings are the vertical flues D D, lower horizontal flue E, and upper horizontal flue F, all communicating with the outlet 20, in amanner which needs no description.

G is the fire-place proper or furnace, and contains the usual grate a, and has in its top plate the ordinary boiler-holes b. At the rear of the fire-place are outlet branches d, three in the present instance, and these branches are adapted to openings 6 in the outer casing of the stove, directly opposite the lower flue E of the oven. I

It should here be understood that my improved stove has been designed more especially for use in the Southern and Southwestern States; that the two main parts-namely, the oven and the fireplace-are intended tobe used either separately or together, as circumstances may suggest. For instance, the furnace detached from the oven may be placed in the usual open fire-place common in the above sections of the country, and may be there employed for heating or cooking purposes when there is no use for a baking or drying oven.

In the summer months, on the other hand, when the process of baking or of drying fruit,

' 850., has to be conducted, and the heat of a stove in the dwelling would be objectionable, the oven detached from the stove may be used in any outbuilding, or even in the open air, by lighting a wood fire in the lower flue E, which is made of sufficient capacity for the purpose, the wood being introduced into this flue through the openings 0, or through openings at the sides of the flue. The plate beneath the flue E is provided with a dampered opening, 6, which can be adapted to an ordinary heating-stove, so that the oven may be used as a radiating and air-heating drum, and in the bottom plate of the oven are formed boiler-holes j, whereby the oven, when used alone, is adapted for cooking as well as for baking or drying.

In many cases, however, it will be best to use the furnace and oven in connection with each other, as shown in the drawing. WVhen the oven thus connected to the furnace is not required for baking or drying purposes, the external air may be admitted to it through a pipe, H, furnished with a suitable valve or damper, and maybe discharged from the oven through pipes I, either into the room containing the stove or into an adjoining or upper room.

The products of combustion, in passing from the furnace or fireplace into the lower flue E of the room, are met by numerous small jets of air passing through perforations in a pipe, on, and by the aid of these jets the gases are effectually ignited and consumed.

There are in the top of the inner casing of the oven openings at n, to which valves or dampers are adapted, so that the fumes and vapors generated in the oven may, when necessary, be permitted to escape. 4

At the rear of the oven is a tank, K, with which communicate circulating-pipes M, so situated within the lower flue E that they will be subjected to the direct action of the products of combustion, a circulation of water being maintained through the pipes, so that there will always be a supply of hot water in the tank, whether the oven is used separately from or in connection with the furnace. I prefer to separate the tank into two compartments, one end of the circulating-pipe commimicating with one compartment and the other end of the pipe with the other compartment, so that cold water may be supplied to one and hot water derived from the other.

I provide the stove with extensive facilities for drying clothes by combining therewith holders for arms, carrying the clothes to be dried,

' in the'foflowing manner: At: each side of the stove are vertical: rodsT T,w111chare secured to th'e stove so 7 as 'to' be readily detachable 1m: arms, q; are adaptedw a secket, 12, at the: "tnp'of the stove: :The strips and it are act justed ivertieeiiy s0 that-,no matter'what may I be the length 01." quality if the articles ofeloth ing" hung 1 113011 131 1e arnisfv, they may always:
